honestly i cant even find the work folder so finding the area to change the ip to vm is prolly a right-off. thanks anyway though. going back to the normal client.. had enough of vm and i'm to tired and i'm going to break something soon.. lol

Guys;
Check my original post now. I added some screenshots to point out how to set up the vmware monitoring. Its in step 4.

It would be good if you added instructions on how to point to the VMs using their network name or how to configure a static IP address, since if they depend on DHCP, they can end up with a different IP when they are rebooted.

There's no changing of anything. All you have to do is see the IP address, take note of the specific numbers, and insert them into this path: \\**IP address here**\c\etc\folding\1\

Once you've done that, you'll have a path that reads something like this (with a different IP address probably): \\192.168.1.247\c\etc\folding\1\

Then, just take that address, paste it into the Location field in FahMon, make sure you've got the Virtual Machine option checked off, and click Ok. After that, you'll be good to go.

Good idea, but that is something that should be added to the vmware sticky, as this is how to monitor the vm and not configure it.

i dont see where it shows any info for vmware.. i'm sure if i could find the work folder i'd be set, but there doesn't seem to be one?

The work folder doesn't matter. You need the folder containing the log file, which I've already given you the path to several times. Just follow the instructions in my last post EXACTLY, and it will work.

I think it could fit under this as well, since the reason the static IP would be configured is specifically so it's easier to monitor the VM. But either way, it's a very useful bit of info to have listed, IMO. And you could also add some info on how to monitor the VMs based on their hostnames rather than their IPs (which basically just entails substituting the hostname for the IP address in the path).
